    From here:
    Images totalling up to 500 pixels wide, 125 pixels tall and 30k in size. No animated images are allowed.

    What does ''no animated images allowed'' mean precisely?

    Nothing moving, shaking or flashing. Like a normal picture.

    It's 165 pixels high - limit is 125.

    I'm not so sure about a .ie link to a page in Ukrainian either.

    Did the forum rules not suggest us to be allowed height in our pics to go over the suggested limit a wee bit?

    The forum rules said that I could have a link below the pic. The Ukrainian can also be translated into English. :confused:

    No, you cannot exceed the height/width/kb limits. If so your image can be removed without warning.

    is clearly too tall.

    This image is just right size wise

    A wee bit, yes, by which we mean a few pixels here or there, but not a third taller than is permitted. Please change the image in your sig. The link is fine as it is a clearly identifiable url. However given that it links to a site in Ukrainian, I would suggest that you add some text noting this so that someone clicking on it doesn't think they've been redirected to a dodgy site.
